#148356 - Built-in resistors? Responding to: ???'s previous message |

I once had a considerable supply of LEDs that had sufficient inherent series resistance that they could be connected across the 5-volt supply without damaging them. Some LEDs have integral resistors - of course, this means you have to pick the correct one for your intended supply voltage...! |

| neve drive led directly with an 8051 , always | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
Wrong - there's nothing wrong with direct drive... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Well done | 01/01/70 00:00 |
